A good lesson and a not so good one:
Look at the students to see if the following are occurring: Is there meaningful conversation occurring between students? Is there evidence of higher order thinking occurring? Are students given the opportunity to make new knowledge by expressing it in their own words and relating it to other situations? Is new knowledge being related to the old? Are there deliberate attempts made to increase the participation of students? Are links to student's background knowledge made explicit? Are students engaged and on task during the lesson? Are students encouraged to take intellectual risks? Are the objectives of the lessons made explicit?
